The Art Show: New DreamSurreal Watercolors and Other Work

 Okay, I'm going to take a shot at putting this show on view here. I don't know how well it will work; I would love to hear from you all, how well it works for you, and any suggestions you might have for improvement.

One other caveat: I don't have good photos of some of these pieces (sigh, boo!). I may try to get good photos, once the show is down. But for now, it is what it is. (You'll see which ones I'm talking about, I'm sure!)

First, a video (with a thump in the middle, where I bumped into the table or a chair while I was videoing):

I hope that works - I've never tried adding a video before, don't know how to post to YouTube - okay, NOW I know how to post to YouTube - or any of that. (Update - it says "video is unavailable," so I'll have to figure out more about that... deleting for now... Updated update: have now figured out how to post to YouTube, but not how to format a video so I can post it here...)

Next, in situ photos of the show - which is in the little library room of my church, Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains, in the northern California foothills - reflections and all.






And, spreads of the groupings - here's where my photos are not very good, in many cases, and for some of them I only have photos of the framed pieces, so you still get the reflection...

  Tech tip: to see any of these larger, click on the image to make it almost-full-browser-window size. (This is not the same as "full screen...")
